The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the SW end of a narrow spine of elevated ground, with views of Lough Gara to S. Densely covered with overgrowth of blackthorn, holly and ash. A roughly circular area (c. 7m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) defined NNW-NE by an arc of an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.35m) with a broad internal slump, ESE-S by remnants of a linear scarp that follows the break of slope and S-W by a low stony rise. The NNW terminal is broader and higher than the remainder and incorporates some large stones, possibly from field clearance. There are breaks in the bank at NW (Wth 2m) and E (Wth 2.7m). There is a field boundary wall immediately to E. A standing stone (SL046-051002-) lies c. 30m to W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
